AGOOd Man.

Our attention was one day this
week called to a commendablc act of a
good hearted white gentleman in
South Carolina. His name is Mr.. G.
w. Goodwin of Brightsville, S. G. Mr..
Goodwin gave to congregation Of
colored people under Rev. S. J..
Adams, four acres of land, afterwards
loaned them 1927 eight months with
out interest, to build. and when the
note was paid he made them present
of $50. The church is now called
Goodwins chapel. Such acts of kind
ness from friends are appreciated by
the heads of the church aud leaders Of
our race and we are always ready to
acknowledge and express our gratitude
for such acts as the above, and this
good man has the prayers of our pee
pie.

GUILTY or Not Guilty.

In the criminal court this week J..
Grier and Jordan. two white men,
were tried for numbering Robert Grier,
colorcd. few weeks ago. The indict-
ment against them was manslaughter !;
the verdict of the jury, not guilty.
The prosecution was ably conducted
by Mr.. G. Il. Wilson, the solicitor,
and the defense was conducted by
Jones e. Tillett.
The evidence in the case is-Gricr
and Jordan were deputized by a J..
p. to arrest Robt Gricr, which they
did and took him to the Jail door
where he escaped from them. They
returned to the neighborhood of his
father and being armed with guns,
secreted themselves to wait for him.
He approached near them in the dark;
they hailed him and fired and he fell
dead The jury gave verdict of
not guilty and the prisoners were
discharged.
This was very aggravated case;
one in which man charged with a
crime, is, without judge or jury out
lawed and shot down on the highway
and the slayers go free. The victim
was surprised by the slayers in the
dark. and the, evidence shows that no
rearrest was attempted and he never
knew who shot him; but the jury said
the shooting was justiliablc, SO we
must submit to the decision Of
the court. Colored men, you
must learn to love and obey the law
aud always keep on the side of law.
We must suffer persecution few
years longer, for we believe that our
God is purging us aud fitting Us to once
more become the greatest race on the
face Of the earth. Trust in God and
do the right

To Business Men.

We call the attention of the bust
ness men of this city to the value of
the MESSENGER as an advertising me-
dunn. There are about 5000 colored
people in this city, and nearly all of
them are to some extent Influenced by
this paper. viii it not pay you to
ask for a share of their patrJnage
through their own organ? The colored
people spend not less than $4,000
week here for clothing, groceries.
&C., and their trade is principally
cesh. The MESSENGER advises and
urges its readers to patronize the
stores that advertise with us. Several
of our best houses have found it ex-
pedient to keep their advertisement
in our columns.
THE MESSENGER reaches a large
class of people who spend much money
that cannot be reached by any other
paper in the city. Is not this worth
your consideration Our rates are
very low, and it will certainly pay
you to advertise in the MESSENGER.
We have a good circulation in the
city and county, as well as all the
neighboring towns.
Our policy and politics are not d.
rected to suit the business men, but
our readers. If our politics were
anything than what they are we would
have no readers. Business men want
to reach the public, they care not by
what source. Advertise in the MIS-
sENGER. If

wadesboro Dlstrict Conference.


Wadesboro District Conference.
The Wadesboro District Conference
and Sunday School Convention were
held in Rockingham this week. 1t
was the pleasure of the writer to see
one Of the largest Sunday school con
ventions yet witnessed by him. There
were about fifty delegates present,
who reported membership of 1000
Sunday school scholars in the district.
The Sunday school convention will be
held separate from the District Con-
feredcc after this, and the time and
place of meeting of the Sunday-school
convention was fxcd-Wadesboro,
N. c., the second Wednesday in
August, 1888
The convention met on Tuesday,
and adjourned Wednesday evening.
Among the delegates VIC noticed a
large number of females, and do con-
graduate the district upon the fine APP
pearance and intellectual bearing of
the ladies generally, who gave their
presence each session.
Mr.. Thomas Mask was President of
the Sunday school convention, and
displayed much ability and fairness in
his rulings.
Presiding Elder Simmons presided
over the District Conference. The
anUual sermon was preached by Rev.
r. S. Rives of the Charlotte District.
1t was a fine, scholarly sermon, and
was highly spoken of by all who heard
it. Both conventions were largely
attended by delegates and visitors,
and all were well provided for by the
good and hospitable people. Rev.
p J. Holmes and Mr.. Mask deserve
the praise for the successful manage
ment and care for the people.
A successful concert and festival
was given on Wednesday night, at
which Mr.. j. G. Dancy delivered one
Of his best speeches. Mr.. d. is
growing in favor as an orator, and
speaks with more eloquence and effect
than few years past. In his efforts,
he endeavors to set forth the possibili-
ties of the Negro, and his efforts in
themselves are among the best evil
dences. About $50 were realized at
the entertainment.
Many beautiful solos, duets, quar-
tettes and choruses were rendered
with splendid effect. Here again the
writer was forcibly struck by the
beauty, grace, and songs of the young
ladies, among whom we might men,
ton: Miss Julia Wall, of Laurin-
burg, who sang two solos that won
the applause of all F.; Misses n. S.
and A. G. Freeman, N. R. Ellerbe,
Jennett Holmes, Ida Mask, c. II. and
S. NJ. Leak, who took part in the
songs and choruses.
Rev. D. J. Sanders was here at the
time, looking after the interests of the
A. A. Presbyterian. The MESSENGER
was very literally patronized. May
the good people of this district ever

Everybody is we'll pleased with
Mrs. j. I. Williams. She is also
pleased with Charlotte.
The town girls are awful glad the
Biddle boys have returned; if they
never marry, they make good COM

that she is the subject of many re-

The actors in the Grace Church
concert were from nearly all the
colored churches in the city. 1t ought
to be repeated.
Rev. G. G. Pettoy preached a
Clinton Chapel last Sunday night.
Wonder if he is afraid to go to Grace
church ? If he is treated as Mr..
Young was he had better not 90
there.
1t is thought that neither Rives nor
Tyler s'.oull be sent to preside over
this district next year, because each
has made it hard for the other.
The Clinton Chapel concert failed
on account of treachery and bull
DOING by the superintendent. In
killing Young's concert he killed his
own.
Two young men of this city refused
to assist bury young lady of one of
the best families because their bosses
objected and the lady had joined an
other church. May the good Lord
deliver them when they come to die.

Absence from the city causes the
scarcity of locals this week.
Rev. r. H. Stitt will leave for
Livingstone college Monday morning.
The case against j. I. Green for
burglary was called yesterday morning.
The whole of the forenoon was spent
in securing jury.
The principal part of this week in
the criminal court is occupied with
cases against white men. The char
ges embrace nearly the entire list.
Among the visitors in the city this
week were Messrs. j. E. Hamlin of
Raleigh, A. S. Hubbard of Monroe,
S. Fl. Hunter of Dallas, Miss Emma
Davis of Monroe, Revs. J. S. Cald-
we'll, j. B. Colbert, III. L. Simmons.
Robson county's sheriff is reported
to be behind and the commissioners
have appointed tax collector.
Something is wrong with several
other counties. Cumberland is in
ticklish state.
We see from exchanges that Mr.
T. T. Fortune will no longer publish
the New York Freeman. Mr..
Fortune was the best colored editor
in the country and he will be badly
missed from our raks We sincerely
trust that he will return to his work
after he has rested up.
We have spent the greater part of this
week out of tue city, looking after the
interest of the MESSENGER. We are
glad to say the paper is rapidly grow
ing in favor with the people. We
secured 25 new subscribers in one day.
Bonds or no bonds, that's the ques-
ton. Whether the city will pay a
debt of $50, 900 by a direct tax from
our pockets and stop the street work,
the graded schools, put out the electric
lights, &c or issue bonds to run thirty
years at per cent. Which will you
have?
We were glad to meet Mr.. W H.
Houser last Sunday. He spent sew
eral days at home with his family,
and reports his work progressing
finely. He is building large cotton
factory near Ellenboro, and has calls
to build two others. Mr.. H. is one
of our most successful brick contract
ors, and has family of brick masons-
four sons all good workmen.
An election is to be held in this city
on the 7th of November to get the
sense of the people as to whether or
not they will issue bonds to the
amount of$50. 200. AS in all cleo
tions the understrikers are at work to
make dollar and they care not whether
their neighbors are hurt or not so they
get the dollar Men should under
stand the question and think and vote
for themselves.
The criminal court is in session this
week, with Judge Meares presiding
There are three capital cases to be
tried, two for murder aud one for
burglary. J. |. Green will be tried
